R16641 should have fixed the regression. Anyone using ompi_free_list_t_ex() and providing
a memory allocator would have been bitten by this, since I did not update this function
(which will be deprecated in favor of a version parallel to ompi_free_list_t_new) to initialize
the new fields defined. From looking through the btls, this seems to be only the openib btl.

The freelist changes from yesterday appear to have broken the openib

because there was a separate (unrelated) typo in the ofud BTL that
prevented the nightly tarball from building on any IB-capable
machines. :-)

Rich hopes to look into fixing the openib BTL problem today; he
thinks it's a case of a simple oversight: the openib BTL is not using
the new freelist init functions.

Rich: are there other places that are not using the new init
functions that need to?
